Probably didn't. Fern's-

He's just been through a lot. He really, really doesn't like himself much. He's worse at it than even I am.

[Which, you know, isn't something anyone should be aiming for. Varian is the God-King of self-loathing and here's Fern - hating himself even more.]

I think it's some sort of power he holds himself. I don't think he can control it very well, ergo the whole EYES thing.

Maybe that's our best choice? I don't know if we should tell Fern beforehand or not. I feel like he SHOULD know about what's inside his own head, but would that clue in the whatever it is and make it lash out? Make it hurt Fern even more than it already is. I don't know what the best course of action is.

[glitchinthesystem]

look i know I have magnet powers but I didn't think they extended to people with self esteem issues.

[ It might sort of sound rude but, he's collecting a lot of friends who seem to have something like that about them. Though he has to type back a reply; ]

sorry. me trying to make a joke and realizing it's probably landing poorly.

anyways i think that's the only way to do it. Unless there's a way to tell Fern without telling it that is our only option. We'll have to tell him when it's all over.

[droptheious]

Too bad. That's just your life now. You might as well accept it.

[Look, Varian is fully aware he is an emotional trainwreck. ]

It's fine, don't worry about it.

I hate keeping things from him. It feels like betraying him. But I'm scared what it would do to him.

[glitchinthesystem]

No. Reject. I reject this.

Yeah you have a point.

I really don't want the freaky eyed Fern to come out any time soon.

[droptheious]

You can't reject it. That's not an option.

Me either, believe you me. Maybe I'll ask Jon. It might mean a trip into the Great Sleep but I guess I'll have to just try it.

[glitchinthesystem]

What is the great sleep? People talk about it but what is it? How do you even get into it? Close your eyes and hope you fall in?

[droptheious]

You know how this is a dream? Well, it's like a DEEPER sleep, a deeper dream. Another layer to the town.

You get dreamcatchers to get into it- I think you have to sleep under them? I've not got one, so I'm gonna have to find someone that does so I can hitch a ride.

[glitchinthesystem]

What's in there exactly? Are you absolutely sure we can trap it in there if it's even possible?

Either way, if you plan on going in there to help trap this grass thing I'm with you. You know that, right?

[droptheious]

I'm not sure. I know you can get coins there to help access other things Sodder might throw at us? As far as I'm aware dying doesn't work the same there, and you don't get hungry or thirsty. You can be stuck there forever.

I know. I'm not gonna argue. I need help. You can't bring items in with you, and I don't have any powers. Besides, I'm not insane. I'm not willing to go into that mess alone.

[glitchinthesystem]

Coins.

We're suppose to fight things in there.

With coins. What we just throw them at things?

But let me guess. I can't use powers in it?

[droptheious]

Coins. And no, we don't fight them with the coins. We get the coins while we're there. Like prizes, I guess?

Actually you WILL have your powers there. It's the one thing that does work, apparently. Which puts me at a pretty big disadvantage.

[glitchinthesystem]

That's pretty pointless if they don't do anything.

Guess it's a good thing I'm coming then. Not really sure Jon staring at it with a million creepy eyes is going to do much to it.

[droptheious]

The coins are used somewhere else. You power them in the Great Sleep and then use them to gain access into these valve things? I need to re-read the notes Peter left, it's been a while. Basically more layers, more mysteries.

Probably not, no. And I'm not exactly going to be a great amount of use in there defence-wise, so-

[They really need you to fry the shit out anything that tries to kill them, Bud.]

[glitchinthesystem]

Okay, well. I'll keep it in mind I guess. You're my go to to explain this fever dream place.


though I never thought I'd read the words that I needed to be people's body guard.

[droptheious]

I'll do my best anyway. I'll probably have a better idea of things once I've actually been there. It's a lot harder going via second-hand experiences.

Well, congrats. Now you do. We're all very proud of you.

[glitchinthesystem]

I better get a prize for this achievement. I so rarely get those.

But, all right. For now, lets just try and figure out a plan on what to do next.

[droptheious]

I think that's what the coins are.

Yeah. We need to figure out a good time to do it. Probably before everything goes REAL bad in October.

[glitchinthesystem]

Yeah. I don't want to have to drop into the Great Sleep during that month. If it's as bad as everyone is saying we're going to need a lot of prep before that.

I'll try and get a handle on that.

[droptheious]

Absolutely. We want to be ready.

I really do appreciate the help, Glitch. It means a lot.

[glitchinthesystem]

Look, Varian.

You're basically my crew now so don't thank me.

I'm just doing what I need to get us all out of this okay. You don't need to thank the people you trust.

[droptheious]

[Sorry, Glitch, you're just going to have to give him a moment while he has An Emotion about all of this.]

Okay, point made. And likewise. With the... crew? thing.

[glitchinthesystem]

[ Contain those one emotions, Varian. We have lives to save. ]

Just message me when you're ready to go.

[droptheious]

[Varian can NEVER contain his emotions.]

Can do.
